The Whatchamacallit in the Whateverthatthingis

By: Summer Lin

“I can help you, but first, you must help me,” said the hooded figure mysteriously.
“You can help me what?” said Beaver.
“I can help you get rid of Mr. Sewerest,” answered the figure, “But you must help me find the Kronosmigger and put it in the Arcsmomitter.”
“The what in the what?” asked a puzzled Beaver.
“The Kronosmigger, or the Kronos piece, and the Arcsmomitter, or the Arcsmitter,” answered the figure.
“The Kronos piece is a round sphere with a star shape on a pole attached to it; the star is piping red hot and can blast a beaver to ashes while attached to the Arcsmitter in a split second. That is why we need it, to blast Mr. Sewerest.”
“Then where is the Kronos piece?” inquired Beaver.
“ We don’t know. That’s why we need you. A leader who’s not afraid of Mr. Sewerest and looks like a common citizen beaver to find this piece. Here is a hint we found on the Arcsmitter when we found it.”
As he instructed, the hooded beaver handed Beaver a note.
On it said:
To find the hidden treasure, a brave adventure may
Cross the land of fire, the one without rain,
To help this brave adventurer, he must receive a crew,
A one of five, not six, including you.
